--Helen Mirren won an Oscar for her portrayal of Elizabeth II in The Queen, but the 65-year-old actress isn't as interested in the real life royals. In an interview with England's The Mail, she said: "I know this sounds ridiculous, but I think people getting married should be a private thing. I hope [Prince William and Kate Middleton] will also do an absolutely private wedding just for them." [CNN]

--Although Beyonce and Kelly Rowland have gone on to great career success, one of their former Destiny's Child members has not been quite so fortunate. Farrah Franklin, 29, was a member of the girl group in 2000; she was arrested for disorderly conduct at 6:45 a.m. on Saturday. Franklin was reportedly released on bail--set at $100--later that day.

Almost hit me, then ran a stop sign. what if there was a kid around the corner, you dumb b**ch." She even added that Hilton was a "horrible excuse for a human being." [PopEater]

--Newlywed LeAnn Rimes might be blissfully married, but she's not happy with the "double standard" against women in the country music industry. In a Sunday night special Backstory: LeAnn Rimes on the Great American County station, the 28-year-old singer lamented: "You know, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash and all those guys--God knows what they did back in the day! And if a woman did it, you were never accepted or forgiven. But if it was a guy, it was just their life… It's quite interesting to have to navigate those waters as a woman in this business."
